45. Japan's first plan failed

The base camp is brightly lit, and a major decision is being made here.

"The first set of operational plans drawn up by the military headquarters was to exchange a city for the main force of the army to destroy China." There is a friend in Yama County who punches the map viciously.

The prince of Xiyuan Temple said in a deep voice: "Shanxian Jun, what do you want to do?" ”

Togo Heihachiro frowned and said, "Yamasan-kun, do you want to use the city street fighting to consume the main force of China?" It's not going to work. Due to the environment, most of the traditional buildings in the empire are made of paper and wood, and once a street battle will soon cause a fire, the whole city will become a sea of fire. ”

Shan County Youpeng sneered: "Of course not, how could our army make such a low-level mistake?" What our army means is to use the city's sewer system to bury and install a large number of explosives, as long as the city occupies the city and garrisons in the city, then we only need one person to gently press the detonator, bang! He made an explosive gesture with a sinister smile, "Just let the elite main force of China turn into ashes." ”

Heihachiro Togo said categorically: "No, how many civilians we have to die if you do this, do you know?" ”

Shan County Youpeng shook his head and said: "Dongxiang-kun, your navy can consider civilians, won't the army?" ”

Heihachiro Togo snorted coldly and said: "If you would think about the civilians, there would be no Lushun Massacre, no Shandong Massacre, and no China will be forced to go to war with the Empire in a crazy way." "To put it bluntly, the navy is basically a high-quality talent, especially the navy, which really looks down on the army and only knows how to kill.

"You!" Youpeng in Shan County almost had a seizure, but the situation was grim, he endured it, but his tone also deteriorated: "War, war is going on now, you know?" Is it normal for civilians to hide from war? It is entirely possible to use this excuse to evacuate civilians. ”

Heihachiro Togo snorted coldly: "No matter how evacuated you are, it is impossible for everyone to leave." The Chinese army occupied several towns and did not massacre civilians. These were reported by war correspondents from various countries. ”

"Sacrifice is inevitable!" Youpeng in Shanxian replied coldly.

"Crazy, you're a bunch of crazy people!" Heihachiro Togo left angrily.

The high-level cabinet in the base camp couldn't help but shudder when they looked at the crazy soldiers in Shan County. Cruelty to the enemy, there is no pressure on politicians and soldiers, but the sacrifice of a large number of compatriots in just one sentence is really chilling

The smoke of gunfire in the county seat has not yet dissipated, and it has begun to set up camp in a clearing a few miles away from the county seat.

A large number of war correspondents are constantly taking pictures, some of them are filming the smoke of gunpowder in the county town and sorting out the corpses, and some are filming the [***] team building a station outside the city.

"Kakaka!" In a series of magnesium powder flashes, Li Songshan looked heroic.

"May I ask General Li, this time the war resumes, are your troops ready to attack Tokyo?"

Li Songshan said: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and we resolutely implement the battle plan formulated by the high command. ”

"General Li, since your army's attack has caused many civilian casualties, how can Your Excellency explain?"

Li Songshan said seriously: "I feel very sorry and sorry for this, the war has nothing to do with civilians, but it is inevitable that the war will break out and be injured by mistake." I believe that the greatest responsibility lies with the fact that they have repeatedly slaughtered our civilians and exacerbated the contradictions, ignored the mediation efforts of Britain, France and the United States, and undermined the peace. I would like to reiterate once again that our army is strictly disciplined, does not rob, does not disturb the people, and still less massacres civilians, and in order to avoid conflicts with the local civilians, our army has been stationed outside the city for several years, and you can see it for all to see. We are a mighty army, a civilized army, not a beast army like the army."

"General, as far as I know, in the areas controlled by your army, the North Korean army is now looting the wealth of the civilian population on a large scale, and even there are vicious incidents such as massacres and forced annihilations, what do you think? Why didn't your army stop such atrocities. ”

Li Songshan said without changing his face: "This reporter said well, they are the army of the DPRK and have nothing to do with our army. I am only the commander of the Chinese expeditionary force and cannot order them. I think the reason why the North Koreans are behaving like this is that the reporters should also ask the North Koreans what they did when they colonized Korea. will make the North Koreans hate it so much. ”

“”

In the Nanjing Provisional Presidential Palace, Wu Di waved a specially customized feather fan (in fact, a fan made of goose feathers), which was quite a kind of pointing to the country.

"Image, we must show the image of our army to the world. Do we need to rob and kill? Not at all. We could just let a dog bite and say to the world that we hate it, but we can't stop them from taking revenge. ”

Wu Di said triumphantly: "As the so-called good fighters have no outstanding achievements, they go to the army to fight." Look at the present, we have achieved the goal of severely inflicting heavy damage on ourselves, but the whole world cannot blame us, so many reporters continue to follow and report, they have to admit that we are a division of kings, a division of civilization. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "Actually, I would prefer our army to be a division of tigers and wolves. ”

Wu Di smiled: "I think so too. Borrowing someone else's hand to punish the enemy has never done it himself to vent his anger, but the problem is that we are not strong enough now. Although we are still importing parts to assemble equipment, the number of people affected by the war has dropped a lot. Laigang Iron and Steel, Anshan Iron and Steel and Taiyuan Iron and Steel, we only import one converter each, and now the great powers have banned the export of such equipment to the East, which means that the maximum annual output of these three steel plants will not exceed 600,000 tons unless we add our own equipment. There are also hydraulic presses, we are far from enough, the role of hydraulic presses in the manufacturing industry I think the boss you know, our own production is too slow and too slow, although the design of 15,000 tons of hydraulic presses, but I estimate that it will take three years to build. As he spoke, he became more and more serious, and finally sighed, "The same thing, without a large hydraulic press, our quality is one or two levels worse than that of the West." The design of our tank warships is very advanced, but people can make up for the lack of design with quality. Boss, you have to know, the most important thing is the power bearing, if the 10,000-ton hydraulic press stamping out, the service life can reach more than 1,000 hours, if the material breaks through, thousands of hours are possible, can be stamped out with an 8,000-ton hydraulic press, the service life will drop by half, 5,000 tons of stamping, and then drop by half. And what war are the planes in which we play a huge role? I have to change the engine there every day (in history, the service life of the aircraft engine in World War II was only more than 200 hours, and the Soviet Union and Russia did not have a large hydraulic press at that time, and it was after defeating Germany that it plundered the German 30,000-ton hydraulic press, which led to the rapid development of its manufacturing industry and the soaring product quality of N grades). ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "It seems that you have put a lot of effort into the industry. ”

Wu Di said proudly: "That's." Don't hide it from the boss, I'm a weaponist, and I pay attention to overwhelming the enemy with overwhelming firepower, and the ground troops are better off doing the work of a corpse collection team. But without a strong heavy industry manufacturing industry, where is the powerful firepower? And the key to manufacturing is the hydraulic press. The so-called 'steel is the country' is just, steel has no technical pressure on us at all, what is the use of steel, it is useful to turn it into a weapon. The most ridiculous joke I've ever heard is that a battleship can be produced by hammering parts, which is possible, but as soon as the cannon of such a battleship fires, bang, the warship will have to disintegrate and fall apart, and the recoil can deform and disintegrate a large number of parts. ”

Li Bufan said helplessly: "It's indeed a headache. Industrial development is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two. ”

Yang Yongtai is a standard politician, but as a deeply influenced by Confucianism, he is far less shameless than Wu's enemy army, and he has to set up a memorial arch to be a bitch. He has always been Li Bufan's think tank, and he has heard a lot of Li Bufan and Wu Di discuss, and almost every time he has to give up some plans because of China's industrial restrictions, he deeply understands the importance of industry.

And at the Tokyo base camp, the sound of cursing kept coming.

"Baga, this is clearly the vitality of the empire to destroy the empire by the hands of the damn Korean monkey!" Saionji Kobo, Uchida Yasuya and other high-level cabinet officials all gritted their teeth. What can't command the North Korean army? Then the North Korean army is clearly supported by the Chinese, dare not listen to the Chinese?

Shan County Youpeng Senran said: "It's no fuss. When the great powers attacked China, didn't the emperor [***] team take the opportunity to plunder? The weak will have to pay the price for their backwardness. It's just that I didn't expect that the damned Shina people didn't actually enter the city, and there weren't many troops stationed in the city when they attacked, and the casualties of exchanging a city for Shina outweighed the loss. ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the person in Zhi acted so thoroughly. This strategy has failed, and a way should be found to stop them from continuing the attack. ”

Youpeng of Shan County said bitterly: "The most suitable thing to defeat the strong with the weak is the art of war of Zhina. It's a pity that the geography of the empire can't be exerted ruthlessly, the empire's territory is small, and the so-called luring the enemy deep is self-defeating; Not to mention the supply of its food routes, the navy of China has an absolute advantage. Now there is no other way but to find a favorable terrain and fight hard. At this moment, he hated Muto Nobuyoshi very much, if they held Korea, then he could secretly order people to build dams in the upper reaches of the Han River and other major river systems, and then pretend to be invincible and retreat, and flood the main force of the First Front Army of China. There were also no large forests to burn the three armies. At this point, you can only hard-top.

"Positional war of attrition!?" Everyone in the cabinet changed their faces, and the mention of this term could not help but remind people of the Battle of Verdun, which made people shudder
